They did an excellent job. They finish moving our 3 bedroom house into the POD within 2 hour. The company is very professional. I receive several calls in reference to my move. I would use them again.

I had a lot of anxiety about hiring people to move my things. I have severe control issues and other parts of my move weren't going swimmingly so I was like EEEK! Mark and Caden (don't hate me if I got the name wrong) were so amazing! We were done with the one run in less than three hours. Their Tetris skills were off the hook! If I ever move again (I hope not - I just bought my first), I'm going to request Mark & his buddy (pretty sure it's Ca(y)den)!

Movers were on time, actually 15 minutes early . Immediately they saw some items we had staged and said there’s no way it would all fit into the pod. They worked for an hour (We paid for two hours of labor), then were ready to get paid. They didn’t tie down in the pod, and I had to ask them to tie down at least once at the end . I thought they were going to Shrink wrap the moving blankets Onto more fragile items, but only draped blankets. At the end the mover was looking for praise about how much stuff he actually got into our pod.

Aaron and Eric did a great job. We booked them for 2 hours and they were able to finish everything we needed in just over an hour.

Amazing !!!! They finished 3 hours early can you believe that?
Moving from Washington to California. They distributed the weight
throughout that truck so well we had no problems on the road.
Thank you guys.

I greatly appreciate that the moving crew from Helpful Movers arrived precisely on time this morning, worked well as a team, got the job done in a highly professional, respectful manner. Truly excellent! Will hire them again in the next several rounds of our move in.

Movers were great!
Due to over scheduling they were an hour and a half past their arrival window end time.
I paid my nephew to move some things in the meantime due my window at the condo.

Management was not at all helpful with any kind of discount due to the late arrival.
Very disappointing.

Mover's response:
Hi Esther, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The crew was an hour over the arrival window due to a previous job taking longer then expected for that we apologize, but what you didn't mention was that we called you ahead of time and to make up for being late we also added a 3rd crew member at no additional cost to you. Also not mentioned was we still completed your move in that same start window, we we supposed to be there by 12pm but got there at 1pm and we completed your move by 2pm. In the end the timeline worked out and that is why you didn't receive a discount which was all explained to you by a manager. I hope your moves in the future are better and have a great day!
